Warthog whisperer Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I've just started paragliding (6 months odd). Nothing near as hardcore as what the Warthog has posted, but I still find it pretty novel to be able to 'fly' with just some material strung up above your head!

dirtypot Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 With the hiking, kayaking, bikes etc I need to make some time. The Missus is keen to give the paragliding a go too. I can sense one of those intro/dual flights in my near future! And then there is kite boarding........... That's the benefit of living there - every outdoor adventure under the sun on your doorstep. For kite surfing (sort of aviation related, at a stretch) I've not found a better spot than Lake Brenton. It's sublime there. Apart from the hermit crabs. That was the first place I managed to go up wind.Sedgefield was also the first place I went paragliding. You're lucky to live there. Spokey and Warthog whisperer 2

Did some during my time in CT would love to pick it up here on the Highveld http://www.entopia.org.za/Gallery/Meerendal_MidJan2006/Gone-m.jpg Meerendal. I remember one fine morning sitting on the bench at the top of Dorstberg, watching an instructor try his darnedest not to lose his marbles trying to teach a toppie how to launch himself. It must be said, from my very uninformed perspective, there was not much of breeze to speak of that day. I guess this makes for good learning conditions, but it sure did make for some great entertainment. I chuckled all the way down again. Later on, as I came around Stairway for my second lap, the instructor came down the road huffing and puffing, not looking very chuffed. Long Wheel Base 1

I took to it quite easily, really loved the sensations. Long Wheel Base, Warthog whisperer and Robbie Stewart 3
